WCS Mission & Vision

Mission

The mission of Willits Charter School is to enable students in grades 6-12 to reach their fullest potential by providing them with a high-quality, personalized education in a safe and supportive environment. We strive to inspire students to embrace their curious, creative nature and be self-motivated, competent, life-long learners. We encourage students to become productive citizens who respect themselves, others, community, diversity, and the environment.

Vision

Willits Charter School maintains high academic standards while respecting the unique qualities of all learners. Our commitment to teaching individual responsibility as well as compassion and respect for self and others motivates all of our educational policies and procedures. We encourage students to reach for new heights in learning and to embrace challenges as opportunities, seeking their own positive solutions and find personal fulfillment as a result of their efforts.

Our faculty, staff and board embody the school’s mission and vision providing both expertise and passion in their fields. We incorporate the arts, humanities, sciences and physical education throughout our curriculum at all levels. We are firmly committed to literacy and we encourage critical thinking in every subject.

Willits Charter School is a place where families are actively involved in the formal education of their children. We recognize that every stakeholder plays an important role in a student’s academic success as well as personal development, and we work cooperatively with families to ensure that success.

Program Overview

WCS is an intentionally small, independent charter school serving grades 6 through 12. Like all charter schools, we are open to all who wish to attend, we do not charge tuition, teach religious doctrine, or discriminate in admissions policies. Our curriculum aligns with the standards adopted by the state of California (including Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards) and students participate in annual standardized tests (CAASPP and the California Physical Fitness Test). Our original charter was granted in 1998 by Willits Unified School District and was unanimously renewed for 5 years in 2002, 2007, 2012, and again in 2017. WCS functions as its own school district and is not a part of the Willits Unified School District. Willits Charter School is a Western

Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) fully accredited Middle and High School.

Governance

The Charter School Association of Willits Board of Directors determines the general policies of the school, conducts long term strategic planning, ensures that the school achieves its educational and financial goals, and governs WCS. The Board is composed of 5-11 members representing both parents and the community at large.

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors occur on the first Tuesday of each month, at 4:00 p.m. during the school year (summer meeting times are subject to change) to discuss policy and procedural matters relevant to the school. These meetings are open to the public and the agenda is posted in front of the school at least 72 hours in advance. Parents may submit agenda items for discussion to the director of the school or any board member. The director implements the policies of the Board and oversees the day-to-day operations of the school.

Family Involvement

Our school was founded on the principle of family involvement, which benefits both the school and our students. By giving time and effort to the school, parents/guardians show that they value education, which encourages students to value it as well. Parent presence also helps many students feel more comfortable at school and gives families a chance to be active in their children’s academic life.

Willits Charter School seeks to make education a community passion. We believe that parent participation is essential to the success of the education process. The Charter's mission is to develop students who are competent, confident, productive and responsible young adults. This mission cannot be accomplished without the active and ongoing support of the entire charter community.

WCS parents/guardians agree to be active participants in the school community and to attend school functions such as parent-teacher conferences, student study team meetings, portfolio conferences, Back to School Night, and special celebrations such as the Harvest Lunch and end of the year BBQ. We depend upon the help of parents/guardians in practical ways: as class parents, groundskeepers,

2repair persons, classroom aides, yard supervision, tutors, event organizers, fundraising support, drivers for field trips, maintenance etc. WCS offers a range of opportunities to volunteer at the school. Volunteer hours can be spent on activities involving the students, educators, or the school site. The following are a few of the many ways families can be involved:

Education - Volunteers coordinate with the educators directly.
● In-class support as an educator aide (with fingerprinting clearance) ● Outside research in support of specific school projects ● Substitute/Guest teaching for electives or Friday Academy classes ● Driving/chaperoning (with dmv clearance) on field trips ● Hosting a lunch club ● Coaching an after-school sport ● Organizing or supporting a community service project for students

Administrative support - Volunteers coordinate with the Administrative staff.
● Supervision at WCS, brunch/lunch periods, front desk, library, yard, parking lot ● Operational support

Committees/Teams - Volunteers coordinate with the Administration.
● Committee/Team involvement ● Attending monthly Parent Association meetings ● Participating in groups such as the School Site Council, WASC, LCAP, etc.

Maintenance - Volunteers coordinate with the Administrative staff.
● Maintenance of the Charter School site ● Groundskeeping/landscaping

Fundraising- Volunteers assist Event Lead, coordinate with Administrative staff.
● Securing needed donations from community businesses ● Preparing gift baskets or auction items ● Assisting at a booth at a local event promoting WCS ● Providing services for events: painting, electrical, makeup, costumes, music, cooking, cleaning, transporting of items, face painting, ect.
● Donating baked goods or decorations for a fundraiser or event

Science Fair- Coordinate with Science Teachers
● Assisting students with projects ● Judging at the local Willits Science Fair and the Mendocino County Science Fair ● Shuttle driving students to and from the local Science Fair ● Donating and delivering snacks for the local Science Fair

We recommend that parents volunteer the following number of hours annually:
● One child - 40 hours ● Each additional student - 20 hours per student ● Independent study student – 20 hours per student

*Volunteering for a specific duty or task requires total dependability. Educators & other parents must be able to plan & schedule events or courses based on reliable volunteers.

Student Attendance

Attendance

WCS parents/guardians agree to support the school by ensuring that their children are in school/online/engaging in Independent Study every day unless they are sick or have an unavoidable emergency. This is the single most important thing you can do to support your child academically and the school financially.

Parents/Guardians and students need to understand the importance of attendance, starting in the early grades and continuing through high school. Good attendance will help your children do well in high school, college and at work. Students can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of school days or about 18 days; it doesn’t matter if these absences are excused or unexcused. They all represent lost time in the classroom and a lost opportunity to learn. By middle and high school, chronic absence is a leading warning sign that a student will drop out.

5Students that are not in regular attendance at Willits Charter School may be disenrolled from the school. Attempts will be made to contact the family via letter, phone and mail prior to disenrolling a student from the school. Students’ educational success and our fiscal survival are dependent upon good attendance. Please show your child that attendance matters to you and that you won’t allow an absence unless someone is truly sick.

If a student is absent for more than ten consecutive days, three phone calls have been attempted without contact and two letters have been sent home, the school may drop the student with a

Student Exit Reason Code of E140 (No Known Enrollment Truant) and an Enrollment Exit Date

reflecting the student’s last day of attendance.

Absence

WCS students need to attend school and every class every day unless they are sick or there is an

unavoidable emergency. In the event of illness or an unavoidable emergency, we ask parents to notify WCS before 9:00 a.m. to excuse their student’s absence. You may leave a message on the

answering machine if it is before school hours. *Students may not attend school events if they were absent from school on that day.

Valid reasons for absence from school (Excused Absences)

1. Illness: A parent phone call, message or a signed doctor’s note is required to excuse a student illness.

2. Medical or dental appointments:  Parents should try to schedule appointments during

non-school hours. Doctor/ dental notes are needed for verification to excuse appointments that interrupt the student’s school day.

3. Family emergencies and justifiable personal reasons (including participation in religious instruction or exercises).

Truancy (Unexcused Absences)

Truancy is defined as:
1. Being absent from school without valid excuse for more than three days over the course of one school year
-or-

2. Being tardy in excess of 30 minutes on more than three days over the course of one school year.

It is the parents’ legal responsibility to ensure that their child attends school. When a student is truant, a student attendance review meeting will be called to address attendance issues. Parents, teachers, and the Director will discuss possible interventions and create an attendance agreement. Families who fail to comply with the attendance agreement drafted at this meeting will be referred to the Charter School Association of Willits for an intervention meeting. If the student continues to not attend school, they may be disenrolled (see above).

6WCS does not receive any funding for a student on any day that they do not come to school; however, we do receive funding if a student comes to school for even a portion of the day. Please keep this in mind when you are scheduling medical appointments and arrange for your child to

attend at least part of the school day. Absences of 5 or more consecutive days need a doctor’s note to return to school.

Leaving School Early

In the case of illness or a family emergency, a high school student with their own transportation may be released with parent/guardian permission (this includes students who are 18 years of age). Middle school students, however, will only be released to a parent/guardian or to the care of an adult whose name appears on the child’s emergency card on file in the school office.

As school attendance in California is compulsory for students between the ages of 6-18 (CA Ed Code 48200), students who are 18 years of age may only be released with parent/guardian permission. They may not sign themselves out of school unless previously agreed on for a school internship at a local business.

Missed Work Due to Excused Absences

It is the responsibility of the student to take care of missed work when they return to school. For absences of 2 or more days due to illness, homework can be retrieved online through Google Classroom or Short Term Independent Study can be arranged (see below). Although each teacher has their own late-work policy, in general, homework is only accepted after the due date if it is missed due to illness/absence. The “grace period” in which the student can receive full credit for a 1 day absence =1 day to make up for full credit, 2 day absence = 2 days to make up for full credit.

Short Term Independent Study (MIS)

If it is known in advance that a student will be absent from school, parents should request short

term Modified Independent Study(MIS). We require at least one week in advance of the absence,

we cannot make arrangements for MIS if we do not have enough notice. This enables the student to receive assignments for the period they will be gone and to receive credit for the work. It also enables the school to receive funding for the days the student is absent if the work is completed.

This work is due the day the student returns to school. Students who do not return MIS

assignments are not guaranteed the opportunity to participate in MIS in the future. 7

General Information

No bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, roller skate shoes, or scooters may be ridden on school property at any time.

Students must walk their modes of transportation onto campus and are to use the bike racks in the back yard for bikes or scooters ridden to school or the skateboard rack in the Big Room. A bike lock should still be used to prevent theft. Rollerblades, roller skates, or roller skate shoes are not allowed on campus at any time. Bikes, scooters or skateboards are never to be used within the vicinity of the school. This is for student safety and the safety of others as there are many vehicles that enter and exit the school parking lot as well as pedestrians. Students walking to and from school must use the designated walking path for safety.

Contact Numbers

It is extremely important for us to be able to reach you in case of emergency or if we have a question about your child! Please update your contact numbers, emergency information, home phone, work phone(s), cell phone, mailing address, email, names and numbers of emergency

contacts, etc any time you make a change. Please notify us immediately when any of these numbers change.

Electronics Policy

Willits Charter School does not allow the use of cell phones or other electronics outside of the classroom (exception for high school students at Brunch/Lunch - see below). This includes any devices to make phone calls, listen to music, peruse the internet, take pictures, play games, text, explore social media, watch videos, etc. All devices must be either turned off or placed in silent

mode. Personal devices may only be used in the classroom as an educational tool under the supervision of a teacher.

● Earbuds/headphones must be put away and not be visible during the school day. ● If a student uses a personal electronic device on campus, the device will be taken by a staff member and turned in to the office. We will return the device to the student at the end of the day the first two times the phone is taken by a staff member. The third time the device is confiscated by a staff member (and any time after that) the device may only be picked up by a parent or guardian – it will not be given back to the student at the end of the day.
● Students will be able to use the phone in the office if they need to make an emergency call, but only in the morning, during brunch or lunch, or after school. Students may not use the phone during class time, except in the case of illness. In the case of illness, the office staff will call an approved family member.
● Before or after school, students may use their phones outside in front of the school to call their families. Please wait until you are outside of the front door before you take your phone or other electronic device out.
● High school students may use their personal devices with earbuds or use their phones/electronics devices during brunch and lunch.

8
● Parents, please be assured that if you need to contact your student, the office staff is available and willing to get a message to your student.
● Please leave only messages that are crucial for the student to have before the end of school.

Please support this policy by not calling or texting your student during school hours.

Computers

Students must adhere to the Willits Charter School’s Acceptable Use Policy for Computers. Please refer to the policy for details. Computers are to be used for school purposes only: research, word processing and/or other software use for class projects, etc. All students will be given a willitscharter.net Google account for school use only. Misuses or abuse of computer privileges may result in disciplinary action that could include loss of computer privileges, or on campus or home suspension. Student’s Google accounts will be inactivated when the student withdraws or graduates from Willits Charter School.

Students are responsible for the devices that are checked out to them. It is mandatory that the parent/guardian purchase an insurance policy for the Chromebook. This is an annual fee. If this fee is a financial hardship for your family please contact the main office.

Enrollment

Admission to WCS is open to any resident of the state of California. We do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability. We do not charge tuition or conduct sectarian programs, admissions policies or employment practices. We hold a series of open enrollment periods every spring and summer for the following school year.

The process is as follows:
● The Charter Board of Directors sets limits on each grade level for the following year; ● Students and parents/guardians in the community are informed of enrollment periods; ● Information about enrollment is given in the local newspaper, school bulletins and marquee; ● The number of returning students is determined; ● The number of openings per class is determined; ● Priority is given to returning current students, current students’ siblings, and children of staff and board members;
● Remaining openings will be filled from the applicant list. If there are more applicants than openings, all applicants’ names will be entered into a random lottery, conducted with impartial observers.
● Lottery picks will be numbered and spaces filled according to lottery number. The waiting list will follow from lottery placement numbers.

Details on the lottery and placement system may be found in the WCS Charter.

Field Trips

Any student going on a school-sponsored field trip must have a permission slip signed by the parent/guardian. A student may be excluded from participating in a field trip if, based on behavior concerns or academic performance, the teacher or administrators feel the student’s behavior may interfere with the ability of others to have a safe, enjoyable, educational experience.

Volunteer drivers transporting students for field trips should be aware that their personal insurance is the primary coverage. We require that all parent/guardian drivers submit proof of their current insurance coverage/liability amounts, vehicle registration and a DMV report. Drivers may only carry the number of passengers for which their vehicle was designed and must have enough functioning seat belts for each occupant. Drivers will need to fill out a parent driver information form and have it approved by the office prior to the trip. Approved driver forms must be re-submitted for each school year. Field trip transportation rules will be distributed and reviewed prior to leaving for the trip.

ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

    Second Sunday in Lent

    Second Sunday in Lent February 27-28, 2021 Lent continues, pointing ahead to the ultimate and final sacrifice for sin to be offered by God for all people. The Old Testament Reading emphasizes God establishing His one-sided covenant with Abraham. It is one-sided because God brings all of the blessings to the relationship. Abram and Sarai, like all people, are simply on the receiving end of God’s bountiful blessings. The promises to both Abraham and Sarah are ultimately fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is only through the King of kings, Jesus Christ, that Abraham and Sarah are the parents of “many nations” and “kings,” and that all nations of the earth are ultimately blessed. Of special emphasis, as reflected in the accompanying Lessons for this day, is the promise made by God to Abraham and Sarah that kings would come from them (Gen 17:6, 16). Through the lens of the accompanying Lessons for the day, emphasis is placed on the covenant components of nations and kings coming from Abraham and Sarah.
